Overview

Max is going with Mum for his very first haircut but he doesn't like Wendy's Hairdressing Salon. It's too bright and noisy. And then there's the water spray, the uncomfortable cloth round his shoulders and the spiky hair clips. Before Wendy can start snipping, Max shouts, 'STOP!' But Wendy has a wonderful idea. Maybe a cat, a soft cushion and some bubbles could make a first haircut fun after all? This debut picture book explores the universal experience of a first haircut with sensitivity and beautiful, glowing pictures.

A reassuring, sensitively told story that will ring true for children who, like Max, do not like going to the salon."" * The Bookseller *
